The history of eutrophication in the sea area of Helsinki in the 20th century. Long-term analysis of plankton assemblages.
The aim of this study is to present a historical continuum of nearly 100 years of environmental investigations and changes in trophic levels in the sea area of Helsinki. The survey is based on a re-examination of original planktological and meteorological data; the principle being that eutrophication can be detected in plankton assemblages despite changes in methodology. The bays around Helsink...
متن کاملModelling an alkenone-like proxy record in the NW African upwelling
A regional biogeochemical model is applied to the NW African coastal upwelling between 19 N and 27 N to investigate how a water temperature proxy, alkenones, are produced at the sea surface and recorded in the slope sediments. The biogeochemical model has two phytoplankton groups: an alkenone producer group, considered to be coccolithophores, and a group comprising other phytoplankton. The Regi...
متن کاملRapid 20th century environmental change on northeastern Baffin Island, Arctic Canada inferred from a multi-proxy lacustrine record
The Arctic has a disproportionately large response to changes in radiative forcing of climate, and arctic lacustrine ecosystems respond sensitively to these changes. The goal of this research is to generate high-resolution climate records for the past two millennia using multiple proxies in order to place 20th and 21st century climate and environmental change into a long-term context. We use a ...
متن کاملA historical reconstruction of organic and inorganic contamination events in the Saguenay FjordrSt. Lawrence system from preindustrial times to the present
Based on published chronologies of Hg contamination to the SaguenayrSt. Lawrence system as well as sedimentary profiles for this heavy metal in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary, we have established a 100]200 year chronology in the studied sediments and reassessed sedimentation rates for the estuarine system. Our results suggest that sedimentation rates might be higher, by a factor of 1.5]2, than ...
متن کاملLake sedimentary DNA accurately records 20th Century introductions of exotic conifers in Scotland
Sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) has recently emerged as a new proxy for reconstructing past vegetation, but its taphonomy, source area and representation biases need better assessment. We investigated how sedDNA in recent sediments of two small Scottish lakes reflects a major vegetation change, using well-documented 20th Century plantations of exotic conifers as an experimental system. We used next-ge...
